Help finding matching OECs

[Eva*]

Hello! I am looking for advice on where to find matched OECs for a five stone ring, somewhere around 1.5-2 carats total . Ideally, I'd like to have some flexibility in deciding which vendor I use for the setting, so right now I'm looking to source just the diamonds. Any ideas or input would be much appreciated since I'm not even sure if this is a plausible project, or whether I'll have to look for something vintage.

try contacting www.jewelsbyericagrace.com,,, www.oldworlddiamonds.com

Ebay can be a great resource but it requires knowledge, willingness to wait, and a certain acceptance that things might go awry despite one's best efforts..

Would you consider AVRs from GOG for your OECs? Might be easier to match newly cut stones if JBeG does not have something ready.

Thank you so much, both of you.
Yssie! I agree I'm just not up to Ebay and will look at the two sources you suggested. Erica Grace has some amazing stuff!
Antelope1, I just saw the very timely thread on the little rounds from GOG. Very tempting. Thanks for the suggestion.

Honestly I'd cruise B&M stores, like antique stores and pawn shops and so forth and look for a vintage three, four or five stone ring with existing OECs pre matched. You could get lucky and find one that had a setting that either you liked, or was cheap enough that you could reset easily. That sounds like the quickest way to get matched ones IMO. If you source all the stones singly you'd have to be a bit flexible in what you consider "matching" probably. Color, especially if you're fine with lower color, would probably be somewhat easy to match. But patterning, crown height and table size and so on could be a bit more difficult.

Old World Diamonds and Singlestone are also good sources of antique diamonds.
